Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

It took a look at this and it might be two separate issues for each of
the drivers.

The firefox driver seems to have only been packaged recently (see
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/selenium-firefoxdriver or the
publishing history) and is only available in 16.10 and newer. It should
be possible to request a backport of this to 16.04, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for details on this.

Chromdriver seems to be another story. In Debian, it is built as a transitional 
package for chromium-driver,
 but in Ubuntu the package only offers  chromium-chromedriver. Compare the list 
of binaries on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium-browser with the ones 
listed on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser. This might be 
another small difference since chromium is packaged directly in Ubuntu separate 
from Debian, but I don't know if there is a reason for the driver package names 
to differ. I've taken the liberty to mark this issue as also affecting 
chromium-browser for this part.
